constituents

[dlaery]

In windows explorer when i RMC on an assembly and select constituents the is a number in brackets [29]





what does that mean?

That would/could be the number of components in the assembly. Expand all items in the window then count them to see if the numbers match.

So why do the parts have numbers ?
Any ideas?

Could it be the item number in the assembly?

no, i expanded and that's not it. i thought it might be how many times that part is used in other assemblies and then I could right click on it and have a list of all assemblies that have that part in them.

I've done a quick test...
had an assembly with a part numbered with <5> in constituents
edited it, saved the assembly
called constituents again and this part got numbered with <6>...

So… did you ADD a part to the Assembly, or does that number represent the number of times the Assembly was EDITED?
